معرفی
Dr. Fernando Camargo is a Principal Investigator at Boston Children's Hospital and Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University. His laboratory investigates adult stem cell biology, organ size regulation, and cancer mechanisms through Hippo/YAP pathway research.
- Harvard University Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
- Boston Children's Hospital Stem Cell Program
Research Background: Dr. Camargo received his Ph.D. from Baylor College of Medicine under Dr. Margaret Goodell, followed by Whitehead Fellowship research on stem cell regulation. His work established the Hippo pathway's role in stem cell biology and tissue regeneration.
Scientific Contributions: His lab developed groundbreaking tools for in vivo hematopoietic stem cell lineage tracing and CRISPR-Cas9 models for simultaneous gene expression analysis. Key discoveries connect organ size regulation to stem cell activity and tumor suppression.
Awards & Honors:
